Why does Michael Bearden's name sound so familiar?  Because he's worked with a ton of people as a musician, composer and producer. From jazz to Madonna to Natalie Cole. You've probably seen his name on credits and liner notes somewhere.  indeed I have | |

Michael Jackson is in “the best of health”
Michael Jackson’s spokesman has said that he is in “the best of health.” “He is great,” Dr. Tohme Tohme told the New York Daily News. “He’s in perfect health … he doesn’t have any diseases whatsoever,” Tohme added. Last week, Britain’s Sun newspaper had reported that the “Beat It” singer has cancerous spots on his body and pre-cancerous cells on his face. It further claimed that Jackson was diagnosed last month and has been told the condition is treatable. Blasting the claims, Tohme said the report was just “not true.” “He is in the best of health,” he added. Jackson still plans to go ahead with a series of sell-out comeback concerts in London in July, sources told the Sun. “He was at first very concerned, but says he has been assured by the doctors that they can treat this and he will recover,” an insider was quoted as saying. “He said he’s insisted that any treatment must fit around the concerts, and the show will go on,” the source added.

Anyways we all know about the dancers/creative director/band members participating but has anyone heard any news on whether or not Michael is working with a vocal coach for the show? I wonder if he's hired his longtime vocal coach Seth Riggs to help with with the tour? But I havent heard anything about Mike getting his voice ready for the concerts, has anyone heard anything?

The day of rockoning is coming << Michael Jackson keeps the world guessing Only five weeks to go until the Michael Jackson extravaganza supposedly hits London. The good news is that rehearsals for the show are well underway - we hear elephants are involved - but the bad news is that, as we recently reported, they're going ahead without the star of the show's involvement. And even if Jacko is only obliged to sing for 13 minutes each show, you'd think he'd need some practice. Particularly as we can't seem to find evidence of him singing properly live since the HIStory tour of 1997. The concert promoters should be getting worried. Jackson is setting up any number of excuses in the media already (a doctor to say he has skin cancer, AEG putting on too many shows etc) and he's got a lot of history of this kind of last minute cancellation thing. We wrote years ago about the American gig that got pulled last minute - Jackson sent a cheque to reimburse each ticket-holder, knowing full well that only a tiny minority would actually cash it so he could end up quids in. But more than O2 and the promoters, the group really getting hot under the collar is the secondary ticketing industry. Exchanges, touts and hospitality have flourished in recent years but there are fears that much of the industry could be taken out if Jackson decides to abandon his tour. As Lordi would say, it would be an arockalypse. | |
